My guess is either Gallardo takes his spot in the rotation if he's ready or Worley gets some spot starts until he is ready.

There was one opening on the 40 man, correct?

I wouldn't be shocked if he is not needed in the next two days that McFarland might get a start.

Cool. At least we now have a LOOGY, and I think Wright was the correct move.

Correct. But JJ could go on the 60 day at any point.

Duensing was coming up to be the LOOGY eventually, so it's good to have him here. He's been dominating lefties in AAA.

I was thinking the same thing, but the next turn is against KC and not NYY. KC is pretty right hand dominate. I understand TJM's splits, but I think they go with Worley.

Good on them to move quickly on Wright.

Now what the hell do we do w/ Ubaldo?

I guess we go to the Coliseum tonight and see if man or beast survives.

Nope. But he's so close to being so good and everybody knows it.
